These are actually penile
組織浴槽中放置的
blood vessels that we have in a tissue bath.
是真的陰莖血管組織
Think of this as the brain.
把這個看作是大腦
This is the brain and the spinal cord.
這是大腦和脊髓
When you're becoming aroused,
當你性喚起時
your brain switches on.
大腦就會激活
We can mimic this by switching on
我們可以通過打開這些等同于
the equivalent of the central nervous system in the brain.
中樞神經系統的開關來模擬這一過程
It sends electricity down
它將電流傳遞到
to the tissue bath and across the tissues,
組織浴槽中 穿過組織
and when we pass an electric current across these
當電流通過小片的陰莖組織時
small pieces of penile tissue, they relax and
它們就會松弛下來
ultimately that's what happens during penile erection.
事實上 這就是陰莖勃起的過程
Relaxed penile blood vessels mean
陰莖血管松弛
more blood flow to the penis, and so an erection.
意味著更過血液流向陰莖 導致勃起
What Chris did was take penile blood vessels
克里斯從陽痿病人體內
from impotent men,
提取了陰莖血管組織
vessels that didn't respond
當大腦開關被打開的時候
when he flicked the brain switch,
血管組織并沒有產生反應
and then added UK 92480 to the tissue bath.
隨后將UK92480加入組織浴槽中
What was most amazing about this study
最不可思議的事情發生了
was that we saw a restoration of erectile response.
陰莖組織重新出現了勃起反應
It's very rare in any tissue preparation
在任何組織標本里 由功能障礙
to convert dysfunctional to normal function, and so now
到功能正常的轉變都是很罕見的
we were really onto something
因此我們現在所經歷的這一切
that could only be described as special.
只能用一個詞來形容 特別
